W.I.P. Wednesday

I spent the last 5 days making borders for the two Mystery Mini Round Robins that still had waiting on my additions so not much progress on the Bow Tie Oh Why quilt. I just named it that because as I was working on it a bit ago I was wondering why I decided to use all of these uneven blocks to go ahead and make a quilt.

Hubby came out and looked at it and said "that looks very old fashioned" which just made me smile since that was the whole point when I started this quilt.

I'm linking up at freshly pieced!

Then.....

The downside to owning an Akita.... they have 4 shed cycles per year. About 4 days ago our Shiina started having hair fall off of her everytime she moved. During her shed cycles I usually vaccum about 4 times a day. Last night I gave her her first good brushing for this cycle. Pictured below is the last of 3 piles of hair that I got off of her, and she's ready to be brushed again. About 4 days of brushing should get all the hair off. When I started brushing my daughter was chuckling. I asked her what was so funny? She said that Shiina has T.A.R.D.I.S like abilities only it is her hair that is bigger once it's off of her!

Now I realise that you don't need a new craft obsession but have you thought about saving the hair and needle felting it. There are loads of tutorials for making a needle felted dog.Just a thought. And it is a really lovely thing to have in the house after your pet has passed. I have a little needle felted rabbit with some of my sweet boys hair in it. It is one of those things that I would grab in a fire etc.I love your quilt too, the hearts are wonderful.
